A while bak I was in touch with a 1970s 'Tron player from Scotland
called Adrian Spence. He told me that his band had bought an M400 to
replace the Mk II which they used to have which had a tendency to break
down rather a lot. They only got a few months' use out of the M400
before it was lost in a house fire in Glasgow.

His band wrote a piece to commemorate the event, called 'Death Of 400'.
